Tool receiving box

ABSTRACT

A tool receiving box includes a toolbox for a tool with shanks of different sizes to be held therein. The toolbox is made up of a pivotally closed/opened movable lid attached to one side of a receiving box. The toolbox having a plurality of insertion grooves/holes of various sizes preset at large plane surfaces of the receiving box and the movable lid thereon respectively serves as an inserting seat for the shanks stored at the receiving box therein to be vertically located thereby and neatly displayed thereon in repairing work. Thus, the shank required can be easily selected and assembled onto a tool head for use without repeatedly opening/closing the movable lid of the toolbox, facilitating a fast and easy replacement of the shanks thereof, and refraining the toolbox from getting tarnished by oil or dirt in the replacement thereof. Besides, the movable lid is correspondingly closed onto the receiving box thereof, economically saving the space occupied by the toolbox in practical use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is related to a tool receiving box, including atoolbox for a tool with shanks of different sizes to be held therein.The toolbox is mainly made up of a pivotally closed/opened movable lidattached to one side of a receiving box wherein the toolbox having aplurality of insertion grooves/holes of various sizes preset at largeplane surfaces thereon provides an inserting seat for the shanks storedat the receiving box therein to be vertically located thereby and neatlydisplayed thereon in repairing work. Thus, the shank required can beeasily selected and assembled onto a tool head for use withoutrepeatedly opening/closing the movable lid of the toolbox, facilitatinga fast and easy replacement of the shanks thereof, and refraining thetoolbox from getting tarnished by oil or dirt in the replacementthereof. Besides, the movable lid is correspondingly closed onto thereceiving box thereof in use, economically saving the space occupied bythe toolbox thereof.

Please refer to FIGS. 1, 2. A conventional tool receiving box includes atoolbox 10 for a tool 20 such as a T-shaped wrench, a screwdriver, or anL-shaped wrench, etc. with shanks 21 of various sizes to be heldtherein. The toolbox 10 is made up of a mutually separated movable lid11 and a receiving box 12 wherein the receiving box 12 has a T-shapedtool cavity 121 indented at one inner side thereof for a tool head 22 ofthe tool 20 thereof to be retained therein, and a plurality of elongatedgrooves 122 extending axially in rows at both sides of the T-shaped toolcavity 121 thereof for the shanks 21 of various sizes to be held thereinrespectively.

There are some drawbacks to such conventional tool receiving box. First,the tool head 22 and one of the shanks 21 are retrieved from the toolbox10 and assembled before the tool 20 is ready for use. In case the shank21 selected doesn't fit in the repairing work, the closed movable lid 11must be reopened for another shank 21 of proper size to be retrievedfrom the receiving box 12 thereof, which is quite troublesome in thereplacement thereof. Second, the toolbox 10 can be tarnished by oil ordirt in the repeated open/close of the movable lid 11 when the shanks 21of various sizes are retrieved for replacement, easily messing up theinner and outer surfaces the toolbox 10 thereof. Third, the movable lid11 is inconveniently separated from the receiving box 12 when thetoolbox 10 is completely opened, uneconomically occupying a lot of spacein practical use.

SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

It is, therefore, the primary purpose of the present invention toprovide a tool receiving box, including a toolbox made up of a pivotallyopened/closed movable lid attached to one side of a receiving boxwherein the toolbox having a plurality of insertion grooves/holes ofvarious sizes preset at large plane surfaces thereon provides aninserting seat for shanks of different sizes stored at the receiving boxtherein to be vertically located thereby and neatly displayed thereon inrepairing work. Thus, the shank required can be easily selected andassembled onto a tool head for use without repeatedly opening/closingthe movable lid of the toolbox, facilitating a fast and easy replacementand storage of the shanks thereof.

It is, therefore, the secondary purpose of the present invention toprovide a tool receiving box wherein the toolbox reversed upside downcan serve as an inserting seat for the shanks of different sizes to berespectively retained at the insertion grooves/holes disposed at largeplane surfaces of the toolbox thereon so that the shanks can be easilyselected for assembly thereof without opening/closing the movable lidthereof, refraining the toolbox from getting tarnished by oil or dirt inthe replacement of the shanks thereof.

It is, therefore, the third purpose of the present invention to providea tool receiving box wherein the movable lid attached to one side of thereceiving box thereof is correspondingly closed onto the receiving boxthereof before the shanks are located into the insertion grooves/holesof various sizes respectively thereby in neat display, economicallysaving the space occupied by the toolbox thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIGS. 3, 4. The present invention is related to a toolreceiving box, comprising a toolbox 30 for a tool 20 such as a T-shapedwrench, a screw driver, or an L-shaped wrench with shanks 21 ofdifferent sizes to be held therein. The toolbox 30 is made up of apivotally closed/opened movable lid 31 attached to one side of areceiving box 32. The receiving box 32 includes a tool retaining cavity321 transversely indented at one inner side thereof for a tool head 22of the tool 20 to be held therein, a plurality of elongated grooves 322extending axially in rows at the other inner side thereof for the shanks21 of different sizes to be adapted therein respectively, and a planesurface 323 disposed at preset space thereon. A plurality of insertiongrooves 324 of various sizes are defined at the reverse side of theplane surface 323 of the receiving box 32 thereof, correspondinglymatched to the shanks 21 thereof as shown in FIG. 5.

Please refer to FIG. 6. In practical use, the tool head 22 and theshanks 21 of different sizes are respectively taken out of the toolbox30. The toolbox 30 with the movable lid 31 correspondingly closedthereon can serve as an inserting seat for the shanks 21 of differentsizes to be vertically retained at the insertion grooves 324 thereinrespectively and neatly displayed on the toolbox 30 thereby. Thus, theshank 21 of required size is easily selected to match the tool head 22and quickly assembled into the tool 20 for use without repeatedlyopening/closing the movable lid 31 thereof, facilitating the replacementof the shanks in a fast and easy manner.

Please refer to FIG. 7. A plurality of insertion holes 324′ of varioussizes can also be preset at the plane surface 323 of the receiving box32 thereon, correspondingly matched to the shanks 21 of different sizesrespectively for the shanks 21 to be adapted therein from the bottomside of the receiving box 32 thereof for location thereby.

Please refer to FIG. 8. A plurality of insertion grooves 324″ of varioussizes can also be defined at the upper surface of the movable lid 31,correspondingly matched to the shanks 21 thereof for holding the shanksthereby respectively.
